Sinister rouge

Greg graffin cracked a lot of jokes....after a few songs he rolled his sleeves up too his shoulders later saying it was the 1st time he'd done so for 500 or so shows...greg hetson followed suit.
theres so many things to say about the show but i don't wanna go on and on hehe....it was obvious the band really enjoyed the show...graffin stated how they loved playing small venues like this one...anyway...thanks.

Thanks to Stephen for this news!

The American Jesus Guest Location: United Kingdom	Quote what can i say? the birmingham show was fucking awesome. first live show and BR did not let me down. even songs like infected, generator and sorrow which i dont like was shitting awesome simply cuz they were played faster and heavier. and of course greg g having his shirt like a girl was pissin funny and jay bentley pretending to be a dumbass was also very cool the encore with american jesus was amazing. bit disappointed that Part III wasnt played cuz then the gig would have been even more amzing than it was. the best was waiting for mym ates mum after the show and meeting greg h outside the academy, getting my skateboard signed and shakign his hand!!! FUCKING AWESOME 08/26/2005 at 17:12 what can i say? the birmingham show was fucking awesome. first live show and BR did not let me down. even songs like infected, generator and sorrow which i dont like was shitting awesome simply cuz they were played faster and heavier. and of course greg g having his shirt like a girl was pissin funny and jay bentley pretending to be a dumbass was also very cool the encore with american jesus was amazing. bit disappointed that Part III wasnt played cuz then the gig would have been even more amzing than it was. the best was waiting for mym ates mum after the show and meeting greg h outside the academy, getting my skateboard signed and shakign his hand!!!

mark_w Guest Location: United Kingdom	Quote if you are that desperate to meet them "punk_boy" then the underworld is an easy place to bump into the bands playing as it only holds 500 people, plus the bands usually have a drink upstairs in the worlds end pub. the backstage area is as glamerous (and big) as a bus stop so i doubt they will lock themselves away in there . if you are old enough then go for pre-show drinks as you never know they might be there too 08/25/2005 at 16:48 if you are that desperate to meet them "punk_boy" then the underworld is an easy place to bump into the bands playing as it only holds 500 people, plus the bands usually have a drink upstairs in the worlds end pub. the backstage area is as glamerous (and big) as a bus stop so i doubt they will lock themselves away in there . if you are old enough then go for pre-show drinks as you never know they might be there too

MikeH Guest Location: United Kingdom	Quote I was at the Birmingham show last night too, and BR were absolutely awesome. It was the first time I'd seen them, and I was blown away by how good-natured the guys were. Greg G's voice was spot-on, and he was very jokey throughout. There was good banter between him and Jay as well, such as when Greg made a reference to the Anglican Church and Jay said "That's about fishing isn't it" (as in angling), plus Jay ribbing Greg about shirt. I would have loved to have heard Conquer or Come Join Us, but all in all a good setlist and a great show. 08/25/2005 at 15:01 I was at the Birmingham show last night too, and BR were absolutely awesome.
